Do’s and Don’ts of a Successful Fitness Plan
Do
Write down your fitness goals. You’re more likely to stick with a program once you have set some specific goals.
Always strive to eat a well balanced diet that includes ample servings of vegetables and fruit.
Break down your meals so you are eating several mini meals per day.
Assess your current fitness level before starting an exercise program. By doing so, you’ll be able to establish goals that meet your specific fitness needs.
Consider talking with your health care provider before embarking on a fitness program, particularly if you are struggling with a health condition such as diabetes or obesity.
Supplement your diet with essential fatty acids. You can do this by eating two servings of fish per week.
Choose alternatives to satisfy your cravings when possible. Consider frozen fruit over ice cream or opt for a mini chocolate instead of the whole candy bar.
Always warm up before and stretch after your exercise routine.
Don’t overdo it! Try doing too much at once and you’ll burn out swiftly. Slowly increase the intensity of your workouts.
Diversify your workout routine. If you do the same exercises day after day, you’ll quickly tire and are more likely to skip workouts.
Work out with a friend. You’ll help motivate each other.
Keep healthy snacks available at all times. You’re less likely to grab junk food if something good for you is readily available.
Don’t
Over-train. Your body needs time to recover in between workouts.
Skip breakfast. Eating breakfast will jump start your metabolism and provide you with the energy you need to get through the day.
Skip stretching.
Skimp on sleep.
Set unrealistic goals. A healthy rate of weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. If you have 50 pounds to lose, don’t expect it to come off overnight, you’ll set yourself up for disappointment.
Compare your successes and failures to others. Everyone is unique, and what works for some may not work for others.
Work out randomly. Work out regularly to maximize the benefits you’ll reap from a consistent fitness routine.
Give up. Consider talking with a friend in times of discouragement.
Forget to reward yourself on occasion.

Zain’s Clean Coconut French Toast
No I’m not kidding. Yes you can enjoy French Toast while eating clean and getting lean! Check out my signature recipe below:
Ingredients:
2 Slices Spouted Grain Bread (I use Mana or Ezekiel Bread, you can also use a gluten-free option)
1/4 Cup Light Coconut Milk
1 Tbsp Raw Unpasteurized Honey OR Sugar-free Syrup
4 Egg Whites
1/4 Tsp Cinnamon
1/8 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tbsp Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1-2 Stevia/Splenda (optional)
Cooking Spray
Directions:
1. In a bowl, whisk egg whites, coconut milk, vanilla and cinnamon
2. Coat bread slices, turning several times in the mixture until the bread is completely coated and heavy
3. Spray pan lightly with cooking spray and cook bread on medium heat until golden and slightly crispy on both sides
4. Top with shredded coconut and honey OR syrup and serve warm
*I often top this with grilled pineapple as well, inspired by my dad’s recipe he served us as kids…nom nom
*Note you may feel like you have died and gone to heaven with this recipe, all I ask is that you use this recipe the next time you are about to reach for an unhealthy snack or when you are about to emotionally eat/binge. This will curb your cravings and satisfy you whilst still providing your body with nutrients and nourishment.
